Elektrobit has introduced EB tresos AutoCore Light, a lean, modular software platform designed to simplify the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Targeted at peripheral electronic control units (ECUs)—such as smart sensors and actuators—AutoCore Light supports modern zonal architectures and helps upgrade existing domain-based systems while significantly cutting development costs and complexity.
Elektrobit, known for its deep expertise in embedded automotive software and proven EB tresos AutoCore suite, aims to meet these evolving needs through a modular, standards-compliant solution that supports both entry-level and complex applications.
EB tresos AutoCore Light has been built for resource-constrained peripheral ECUs based on cost-optimised microcontrollers used in I/O devices, smart actuators, and sensors. Its modular architecture promotes code reuse, simplifies software updates, and accelerates development timelines. In combination with EB zoneo and EB tresos AutoCore for zonal ECUs, the new platform enables efficient integration and functional consolidation—potentially reducing hardware and R&D costs by up to 30%, based on internal benchmarks.
Designed for signal-based communication without added complexity, the platform is ASIL-B ready and CSMS certified, making it a safe and secure solution for constrained automotive environments. OEMs can also enhance capabilities with EB tresos extension packages, such as J1939 or DLT, depending on available memory footprints.
Jagan Rajagopalan, Head of Strategy & Portfolio at Elektrobit Automotive GmbH, commented, “The Software-Defined Vehicle is a complex ecosystem, and EB tresos AutoCore Light offers a smart, efficient entry point for customers aiming to build scalable, future-ready software. Tailored for resource-constrained peripheral ECUs, it breaks away from traditional monolithic architectures with a lightweight, modular design.”
The first version of AutoCore Light is available on select Cortex M0+, M4F, and equivalent microcontroller platforms, with further platform support expected later in the year. With this launch, Elektrobit aims to empower OEMs to streamline SDV development, lower costs, and confidently scale innovation across future vehicle architectures.
